The primary duty of Sugar Centrifuge Screen is separating sugar crystals from molasses in batch and continuous centrifuges with fine chromium-plated nickel working screens over a stainless backing screen. Below: the sectors that specify it in volume, the checklist used to select the right mesh and alloy for the application, handling notes, and the known limits of the type.
Typical Applications for Sugar Centrifuge Screen
Where Sugar Centrifuge Screen is specified and bought:
- Cane sugar mills: A, B and C massecuite centrifuges.
- Beet sugar factories: batch and continuous centrifuges.
- Sugar refineries: refined sugar curing.
- Salt & starch: crystal centrifuges.
How to Specify Sugar Centrifuge Screen for Your Application
- Slot or hole: 0.06–0.09 mm to suit crystal size.
- Hard plating: Chromium plating extends wear life against abrasive crystals.
- Backing screen: A coarse stainless backing screen supports the fine working screen.
- Standard: Quote ICUMSA / centrifuge OEM drawing and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.
Handling & Installation Practice
- Fit the backing screen first, then the working screen with no folds.
- Inspect for worn plating and torn slots at every cleaning stop.
Common Selection Mistakes with Sugar Centrifuge Screen
- Wrong slot size for the massecuite grade.
- Running worn screens that lose crystals.
Where Sugar Centrifuge Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not for non-crystalline products.
